Project Description
The academic program of new three storey school includes high technology and hospitality training in addition to standard Grade 9 - OAC courses. To serve these programs computer and robotics labs, video animation and live-action studios, and a large commercial kitchen are included in the building. The use of three-storey high atriums, balconies and large interior corridors gives the school a mall-like ambiance that facilitates student movement and mingling. The skylights provide significant day lighting. Classrooms backing onto the atrium have glazed interior walls so that they can benefit from this day lighting.
